    UPDATE:
    At one point i mention washing water soluble resin in the SINK, I misspoke and didn't catch it, please don't actually wash it in a sink, your still working with uncured resin, you just can avoid ISO use with it.

      Thank you very much. The moment you said that I was ready to leave an angry comment xD. In case anyone is wondering why this is such a big deal: Uncured resin is toxic and we don't want more toxic pollution in our drinking water than we already do. Never mind the enviromental hazard.

    Something else to take into account with water washable resin. Any water that comes in contact with the resin becomes toxic. You said you can wash it in the sink but you gotta make sure this sink does not drain into a sewer. You gotta dispose that water as hazardous waste, just like the ISO. So there really isn't extra convenience to water washable, you just don't spend money on ISO.

      I heard somewhere that an option was to buy a large cooking sheet and pour the contaminated iso/water on it and let the iso/water evaporate and then the sun would cure the resin making it non toxic.

  • @Raven-Creations
    @Raven-Creations ปีที่แล้ว +3

    One thing you missed is filtering your resin. Don't just poor the resin back into the bottle. For any complex model, there will always be tiny bits of partially cured resin that fall off. You can minimise this by being very careful with support placement, but you're unlikely to catch 100% of the unsupported regions, especially those which are internal to the piece. I filter both when returning the resin to the bottle, and when filling the tank from the bottle. After filling the tank, I leave time for it to settle, then before each print, I slowly run the scraper across the film, so any grit from the last job, or any that got through the filter is moved to the edges. If you don't do this, you'll get failed prints, because the grit means the build plate can't get close enough to the film to ensure a properly connected first layer. If you don't catch failed prints quickly, there will be an awful lot of wasted resin, so it pays to keep an eye on them. It's a bit of a faff, but it hurts less than a failed print, and the filters are cheap compared with the cost of the resin that a failed print will consume.
    It does stink. I use mine in a spare room which has the window open, and the door closed, and I don't use it when the wind is blowing towards that side of the house, otherwise the wind would only push the fumes into the house. Even with those precautions, the smell still fills the house. Whilst in the room, I always wear a 3M mask with VOC filters. If I didn't, I'd have a really bad headache.

  • @leesmithsworkshop
    @leesmithsworkshop ปีที่แล้ว +10

    One important fact that I think you missed out is you can't throw uncured resin out in the trash so what do you do with the dirty paper towels or the supports removed before curing. same goes fpr the old iso used for cleaning and that can't go down the drain like most people new people would do. Not sure if this is the same for every country, but this is the case for me in the uk and I think could catch a lot of new people out.

    Removing the supports before wash is a great way to get tiny drops of resin everywhere as you're snapping them off. Wash the model with supports (preferably still on the bed), rinse in warm water, remove supports. I get that you're trying to save the ISO but it's not worth it. Also, maybe add a small lunch tray to the list of additional tools. They're thin and sturdy for sliding between the printed model and the vat then just keep it under the model as you remove the build plate to move it to the wash station.

    Couple notes on water washable resin and handling prints.
    Just because it's water washable, doesn't mean it's safe to dump down the drain, it's almost more of a pain than IPA, benefit is no ipa smells and headaches.
    Resin, even cured, isn't 100% safe to handle, because it's brittle rubbing your hands and nails on it can pull off surface microplastic dust which is nasty stuff. It's fine for display and handle occasionally, but I would say not make a face mask and wear it unless it's primed and painted.

  • @PhilippensTube
    @PhilippensTube ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. Resin prints are amazing, but they have their own use case. Mostly, a FDM printer has more than enough detail for a typical print, but when you want to do the detailed stuff, you can't beat a resin printer. The small figures and parts for scale models use are really the bread and butter of resin printing. But the mess and handling of toxic stuff that's involved in resin printing is something you have to think about. I don't know if enclosing it in a cabinet with a active carbon fume extractor like a Voron would be sufficient.
    The other thing is the closed source nature of most of the resin printer market. When people scuff over the open vs closed source debate of Bambu vs Prusa in the FDM market, I encourage them to look at the situation with resin printers and the Chitu Jail you're in. Except the Prusa SL1S resin printer. That's open source and can be used with Prusa Slicer.

    I love resin printing, but I feel compared to filament based it's more of a niche, at least with the hobby overall. For those like me who paint miniatures, a resin printer is oh so invaluable, because it lets me print things that traditional miniature companies either won't touch due to perceived lack of ability to recoup their investment, or because their manufacturing methods just can't do it without super complicated molds (or breaking it into six billion parts). I personally love my resin printer, even though it's a royal pain to get things out of, simply because of all the extra work involved, and how I'm swapping over to having two separate curing machines so that I can have a "dirty" tank and a "clean" tank of isopropyl. Reason for that is trying to filter the resin out of 6L of isopropyl is an interesting endeavour, so with a second smaller machine it would be a lot easier to follow a process I do with my painting water (aka transfer it into smallish containers, let it settle for a few days, then in this case either go directly for curing it, or skim the cleaner stuff off the top and then run what's left through a curing cycle).
    But yeah, dealing with disposal of contaminated isopropyl is a "fun" thing because there isn't exactly an easy process to do this, as it requires a trip to a waste disposal facility, and containers to safely carry it to said disposal site.... Hence why I'm looking at ways of hopefully being able to just outright cure it into blocks, and then dispose of the now non-liquid and cured excess resin through more traditional means.
    Editing to add... Got any leads for a resin mat like the one you've got? Such seems like it would be a lot nicer than the current silicon baking dishes I picked up from Canadian Tire...

    I was working in 3D printing company back in 2015 and we had custom made DLP printers that used projectors instead of screens. Only protection we used was gloves. I think all of the waste was goign to sink…. I was only software developer and made a slicer there and pretty much was breathing the resin 8h a day, so here goes my cancer in future. I can say that I’m suprised that there are not many resin slicers nowadays.

    Great video that confirmed the reasons I avoid resin printing. The detail is great, but One thing i'm surprised you didnt touch on: Resin printing really doesnt lend itself as well to functional and end use prints as FDM. Resin simply isnt as strong as even something like ABS; thats without even talking about higher end engineering materials/polymers and carbon/glass fibre loaded filaments. nowhere near the range of colours and other physical attributes, like flexible filaments etc.

I did print some amazing things with it but mostly found the effort involved deterred me from using it much.

      I tried ABS recently with mixed results. My first print was a success, after that everything was a disaster. I couldn't smell a thing at first, I thought everyone had been exaggerating, but then I noticed being near the printer for too long made me feel queasy. I'm used to strong organic solvents because I'm a tradie, so I guess I have been desensitized. One thing is for sure, I have enough experience with epoxy and polyester resin to know that I absolutely hate the stuff, especially polyester resin, that stuff is seriously vile.

    The biggest issue with resin printers is this. How do you evacuate the gases ? And then there is all the mess, cleaning, post processing, safety equipment and so on. What about all those chemicals ? IPA is highly flammable and really bad for your health just like the resin is ? How do you store that crap ? You need a chem lab for that shit.

It seems this is the same for alot of us here commenters. All the power to you if resin printing is your main gig, I do think it is an amazing and unique and mind-blowing piece of technology, just not in my wheelhouse.

    Oh dear... at around 13:50 you say "some resins are water-soluable, you can wash them in a sink..." PLEASE people - ALL uncured resins are toxic to plant and animal life and not removed by water reclamation facilities. DO NOT put uncured or liquid resin down any drain going outside your home, even water-washable or "eco" resins. They are still toxic, with the only difference being where the polymers come from, but the UV activators will kill a boatload of fish in no time. Also, if you're on a septic system, you're only making yourself sick.
    Otherwise, enjoyable video. Thanks, Nero!

    Dust masks are useless because you need a gas mask to filter properly the toxic resin fumes. However their concentration is low so a well ventilated area and air filters should do the trick

  • @AdderMk2
    @AdderMk2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Resin, IMHO, is extremely niche. I personally use my 3d prints for more engineering based tasks and not really for making trinkets and models (Except for Benchies, obviously). I find that I can very quickly and easily draft up a specific item that I need in Fusion360, slap it into cura, and just print. 2-30 hours later, my item is ready for use as soon as the print stops. When youre doing rapid prototyping and testing multiple designs back to back, all the extra steps required with resin just take up too much time and effort. Especially when the part needs to be tweaked in some way, and the print gets thrown away.
    Also, my models off the FDM machine do not randomly start leaking resin that was trapped in the print because of an improperly placed, or nonexistant drain hole.

    I would wait for more, better resin printers like DLP. You don't have a hassle of changing screens like on SLA printers because DLP printers are using projector. Anycubic has Photon D2 and Elegoo is making Mars 4 DLP.

    • @viru52000
      @viru52000 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, SLA uses a laser to cure the resin and doesn't use a screen. It's also MUCH slower than these LCD based printers. Also, the screen needing to be replaced often was fixed years ago with the switch to monochromatic screens instead of color screens (which were basically phone screens). DLP is weird and finicky compared to the LCD based printers, and still very expensive like SLA printers.

    I had a resin printer, it is a great maschine, but there is a lot of waste with the gloves, the paper tovels and the iso… that is one thing i dont like . The next problem is that after you leveled your bed and start a print you can see your resulta extremely late for the first time (if it not fails) at fdm printers you see directly if it runs or not. But the advantage of the hight resolution is great.
    Over all i have trade it for a fdm printer because i havent seen a future for me with the resin printer because i print most of the time functional parts that needs to be strong, and there is am fdm printer better

    So VOCs are not unique to Resin Printing so both Resin Printing and FDM printing require the same PPE or considerations when it comes to the lungs. Namely well ventilated area to flush out the area of VOCs if that is not available a respirator mask can help but long term exposure is still a problem so you need to keep it in an isolated area. And you definitely want to wear a mask that can filter out fine particulates when doing FDM. A lot of people seem to think that since FDM doesn't smell that it's safe. I really wish people would be as careful with FDM as they are with Resin because in a few years there are going to be a lot of people with lung problems from the particulates and VOCs form FDM because they do not take enough precaution. "3D Printing-Induced Fine Particle and Volatile Organic Compound Emission: An Emerging Health Risk" compiles data from a bunch of studies. And that Data shows FDM producing similar levels of VOCs as Resin while having particulates levels that are very high.

If you have hair between the mask and your skin it becomes an intake point and air will take the easiest way into the mask then you have bad air in the mask and it cant get out making it arguably worse then no mask at all.
